Ever since I was little,
You’ve shown me you were there
In case I ever needed you
When life wasn’t playing fair.

17 year old Howard (Howie) Stephenson in 1947
By Donna Sundblad
My father, Howard (Howie) Stephenson idolized his older brother Harry whom everyone called Clark. The nickname stuck as a child while living on Clark Street in Chicago. As adults, the brothers fondly recanted such antics as shooting Christmas ornaments off the tree with new BB guns, while surviving their mothers wrath.

Grandchildren are precious to everyone.
No matter what age, they are so much fun.
As they grow older they have their lives, yet.
They are our grandchildren and don’t forget.
Grandchildren know we are their friend,
And realize on us they can depend.
We help them in every way,
To prepare them for their big day.
